I just created a new rails project "test". I then did "switchtower --apply-to ~/user/test test" I then moved into test and tried "rake restart" and got: kfelkins@lurch:~/user/test$ rake restart (in /home/kfelkins/user/test) rake aborted! Don''t know how to build task ''restart'' I see restart in deploy. Can restart be invoked from the

I''m using a find with a :joins clause, like this: :joins => "JOIN table_b ON table_b.id=table_b_id" The records returned are used in a scaffold generated list page. The edit, show, and destroy links are getting the wrong id. They are getting the id of the table b record. When I run the query using mysql, I see that the query returns *2* id columns, the id of the main

I''m interested in making a low volume rails application very available. This means that I would like to have an alternate server for those times when the primary server is unavailable for whatever reason. Virtual private servers are fairly inexpensive so one could have a rails application on 2 different vps systems (not on the same server, possibly not even in the same city).

I moved a rails application to textdrive using their low-cost shared plan. Once on textdrive my app would display ''proxy errors'' periodically. Hitting reload seemed to be all that was needed to get past the proxy error. After discussions with their support people I decided the proxy errors were being caused by apache server restarts -- because there were many of us sharing one

I have an archive that can have 0 or more extra files associated with it. I would like to be able to edit the associated files info on the same page as the archive info. Listing the extra files info to the edit form is simple enough, but How do I form the text input fields for easy (or automatic) pick-up in the update? Or am I barking up the wrong tree here? -- Posted via

Is there an easy way to deal with nil properties in templates? All I''m aware of are these methods, and it''s quite tedious and surely violates DRY. <%= @member.name unless @member.name.nil? %> <%= @member.name.to_is %> <%= "#{@member.name}" %> csn __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Does your *shared* hosting account work without errors? I''m interested in both positive and negative reports. If you are willing, please contribute - name of the hosting service - how long you have used them - your experience ("flawless!", "it''s crap!") You *do not* need to reply saying your VPS service works great. This is about *shared* hosting

I''m trying to get an application running in a sub directory of a site using apache and scgi. The application runs fine with webrick. I have a site. Let''s call it "mysite.org". There is a variety of content on that site. I would like to add a rails application to that site. Let''s call the application "myapp". So we will have urls of the form

I have a model with a belongs_to association. The first model is called Thing and the associated model is User. I''m attempting to assign the user to the thing. To accomplish this I used a before_save method, like this: class Thing < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :created_by, :class_name => "User", :foreign_key => "created_by_user_id" def before_create

I''ve got unit tests for a class library that I''m using in a rails project. Currently this is the only project using this library so I would like to keep the classes and tests in the rails project. I moved the classes under [app]/lib. I currently have the tests in [app]/test. It would be great if these tests were run every time I run ''rake''. What is everyone

I''m attempting to deploy a rails application using switchtower. My IT guys are refusing to give me sudo for a user changeable script. I really can''t argue with their logic. If I have sudo for a script that I can update, well, I can do most anything I want. They are suggesting I create a cgi that performs the same function. Since the cgi would run as www-data (this is a debian

We are extremely pleased to announce that we have finalized the schedule (http://canadaonrails.com/yvr06-schedule.html) for the upcoming Ruby on Rails conference in Vancouver, BC on April 13th - 14th, 2006. There are 15 speakers packed into two full days of presentations ranging from 30 minutes to 90 minute keynotes. Presentation topics include: * Where will Rails be riding next? * Enterprise

I''m trying to figure out how to change the order of a list view and it''s obvious to me that I don''t understand what I get from a simple scaffold to know enough to alter it. If someone would be so kind to tell me what this means ... def list @placment_pages, @placements = paginate :placements, :per_page => 10 end @placement_pages, # I am guessing that this

I'm getting really poor performance when using samba with specific applications - winamp and windows media player, when building the media library. I keep my mp3 files on a debian server (2.4.23-1-k7). It is running samba 3.0.7-Debian. Most operations seem to work OK. I can copy a 10 MB file to or from the server in about 30 seconds. My client is windows XP. It connects to the server via

hi all, how to config or use rails connection pool, like jsp, tomcat connection pool. regards. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I would like to have a field on a form that does *not* have an underlying column in the table. Yet I would like to perform some validation on the value. I would like the results of the validation to show up just like the validations that are performed in the model. This is very similar to the password_confirmation field on a sign up screen. The password_confirmation is there on the screen, but

Hi, Love Rails... I''m looking for a Production Quality Server that brings the same ease of use as Rails does to web development. I''ve tried TextDrive, and never got it to work. I''m sure there are good reasons why it didn''t work but they are beyond me. I''ve contacted tech support there several times, and it seems that there are so many setups that

Hi everybody, this is a little OT. We are using Lighttpd as a webserver for Rails. Our problem is that when we rotate the logs everyday at the end of the process, lighttpd stops writing the logs. To solve this we have to restart the server manually each time. We use a common Debian, lighttpd-1.4.7, Rails 1.0 and fcgi-2.4.0. I have tracked the lighttpd bugs, and I haven''t found
